Redefining marriage. It’s no more ‘bride’ and ‘groom’, it is now ‘spouse’

Following the legalization of same sex marriage, a lot has been happening especially when it comes to redefining marriage. But can marriage be redefined?

Someone said, “It’s like a government voting that black should be white. Sorry, you can vote that if you like, you can pass it by a total majority, but it isn't actually going to change the reality.” 

The state of Florida recently changed its marriage certificates, removing the terms "bride" and "groom" and replacing them with "spouse."

In Ontario, Canada, as a result of the legalization of same-sex marriage, all references to terms like husband, wife and widow were removed from the law books in 2005.

 In Spain, birth certificates were changed from 'Father' and 'Mother' to 'Progenitor A' and 'Progenitor B.'"

In UK ,except for Northern Ireland, same sex is also legal.

Once you redefine marriage, you render it meaningless. It  would be like saying a couple can now consist of five people, or a pair can refer to one item, or a tricycle can have two wheels.

Redefining those terms doesn't change reality, and when it comes to marriage, if you don't have the two essential components, namely a husband and a wife, you don't have marriage.

In the government's proposed guidelines, "'husband' here will include a man or a woman in a same-sex marriage, as well as a man married to a woman. In a similar way, 'wife' will include a woman married to another woman or a man married to a man."

This means that we've come to a place of semantic insanity, a place where you can have male wives, female husbands, male mothers, and female fathers.

Do people really think you can just turn the world upside down without having any adverse effects?
